Abstract

Introduction

Justification of approach

Questions 01: Who is Conquering Extreme Poverty in Various Global Regions Across Time? How does the distribution of wealth differ among various income groups?

Visualization

Plot 02 : Ridge Plot for Wealth Distribution Analysis:

A ‘Ridge Plot’ is a great tool to compare the distribution of a continuous variable between groups; in this case, the distribution of wealth as determined by s80_s20_ratio, gini, and palma_ratio among different income groups. “Ridge plots” are just a set of vertically arranged, slightly overlapped density charts for every group. It is simpler to compare the distributions and see trends or outlines with this setup in place.

Dependency Columns:

For Plot 02 dependent columns are gini, palma_ratio and s80_s20_ratio
